The accident was a murder. The culprit is Shingo Mizuguchi. First, Shingo knocked Arisa unconscious with the fire extinguisher inside the basket of the hot air balloon. Then, to pin the blame on Okuda, he pulled out a weave from his hot air balloon basket on the night before the contest and picked a fight with him. The proof that Shingo did it was the melted plastic on the hot air balloon in the shape of doll hands. The motive was that the stocks he bought with money he borrowed from his clients crashed and if he didn't return it soon, they were going to audit him next month. He murdered her for her life insurance money.
